    Poem Commentary

    This is my first poem where I looked at a picture to make a poem. Notice each line in the poem has six syllables in hopes to make it an even flow.

    By the Wind

    Not troubled by sadness
    Not swayed by angry crowds
    White mountain tips below
    Above the sullen clouds

    Crowned king of his voyage
    Unfolded wings can fly
    Feeling as a monarch
    He reigns over blue sky

    As an eagle soaring
    Worlds to unveil in flight
    On wings given by God
    Free to climb to new heights

    Spirit drifting higher
    Ocean breeze flows through him
    Gliding above heaven
    His heart swept by the wind

    Closed eyes for a moment
    Soul and mind are at peace
    A dream flows forever
    Untamed thoughts never cease

    3rd stanza, 2nd line - 7 syllables...you could change it to -worlds discovered in flight- and keep the six syllable count. I don't normally do that - but the poem is beautiful, very close to perfect :) 10

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
